In a club statement, Carlton head of football Andrew McKay said the injury is a frustrating blow for the Blues' skipper.

"Bri is an incredibly tough competitor so when we saw her go down in pain late in that fourth quarter on Friday night, we knew it could be serious," McKay said.

"While we are incredibly disappointed for her, the club will fully support Brianna in her rehabilitation process and we look forward to seeing her back out on the field in the navy blue for the start of the AFLW season next year."

Carlton will also keep their fingers crossed for star recruit Tayla Harris, who will be monitored through the week after she suffered a knock to her left shoulder late in the match on Friday.

The 20-year-old, who moved from the Brisbane Lions last year, was in obvious pain after the match.
